The Operator

This is a true story about one of my brother's friends. Let's just call him Mitch.

Years ago, Mitch got a job working for the telephone company as a telephone operator. This was back when if you dialed zero, you got to talk to a REAL LIVE PERSON, as opposed to a tape recording.

One day, Mitch got the caller from hell. The guy was giving Mitch all kinds of grief, Mitch was trying to help him, the caller got completely frustrated and yelled at Mitch, "Look, just put the call through, motherf*cker."

Mitch got mad. Mitch took note of the guy's phone number, then began plotting his revenge.

When it came time for his break, he stepped outside, and took a short walk down the street to a pay phone.

He picked up the phone, dialed the operator, and said he needed to place a collect call. He gave the operator the caller from hell's phone number. The operator asked "And who may I say is placing this call?"

Mitch said "Mother."

The operator dialed the number, when the person answered, the operator asked if he would accept the charges for a collect call from Mother.

The caller asked "Who?"

Before the operator could answer, Mitch screamed "Motherf*cker!!!" and slammed the phone down.
